2005 '55' Fabia vRS Black Magic <15k miles - SOLD

StuM · 16-01-2008, 23:24

Hi All,

SOLD

It is with some regret that we are putting our 2005 '55' reg Skoda Fabia vRS up for sale. It has covered 14,800 miles (will creep up a little as still in use) and has full main dealer service history, as well as being under Skoda warranty until 29/10/2008.

I have cherished this car and loved owning it, but it is time for a change.

Thanks,
Stu

StuM · 20-01-2008, 23:35

I've now added some interior pics to the above link.

Thanks,
Stu

If only I had more £££ your only 5 miles away

StuM · 21-01-2008, 14:38

That always seems to be the way. Recently bought a second car for my wife and had a strict budget - everything that looked right was too far away, and everything local failed to meet our requirements in some way!

StuM · 23-01-2008, 13:53

Price updated, car is on Ebay and Autotrader and...

Captain Sisko · 24-01-2008, 19:30

Beautiful car! Worth going into debt for!

How much is tax on a band C car?

*edit* £115 for 12 months

StuM · 24-01-2008, 20:54

Thanks for the kind words.

Is this still for sale by any chance?

Hi - yes, it is still for sale.

Regards,

StuM · 26-01-2008, 14:49

Just to answer a couple of questions...

I have priced the car at what I think it is worth, so that is the price I want to get - I think it is pretty fair and was set using Parkers & seeing what similar cars are up for on Autotrader etc.

I am selling because I'm hoping to buy a 2 seater sports car, no other reason.

Thanks,
Stu

StuM · 27-01-2008, 23:58

No contact number to post here, but if you are interested please PM / email me and I'll let you know it.

Price of £9100 is not really negotiable - unless you want to negotiate up

Mileage, as of the end of this weekend is 14999!

Cheers,
Stu

StuM · 29-01-2008, 12:47

If anyone is interested in viewing etc, I might be able to arrange to be at home during the week (ie. so you can see it in daylight).

Forgot to mention, the car has an air conditioned glove box..

Cheers,
Stu

StuM · 02-02-2008, 21:10

Hi All,

Can I ask for your views on the price I have here. Parkers reckons, for this year, non-metallic and average miles (22500) that the price should be £9180... so £9100 for pearlescent paint and 15k miles seems fair to me.

I have had the car on Autotrader and Ebay, as well as here - nothing from the 'Trader and one e-mail through Ebay asking if price is flexible.

I really felt that, to use a cliche, first to see would buy... but no one wants to see it!

The trouble is, I have my own plans and sacrificing the price of my pride and joy here would limit my options going forward, meaning I'd keep the Fabia anyway!

Any advice welcome.

Thanks
Stu

oilburninnut · 02-02-2008, 21:24

i think its bang on price wise,just that the motor trade is probably a bit slow in the first couple of months of a year.

StuM · 02-02-2008, 22:39

Thanks Gary, that's reassuring to know.

Not in a huge hurry to sell, so probably worth hanging in there then.

Cheers,
Stu

skudmissile · 02-02-2008, 23:14

Yer the motor trade is slow at the mo

Will start picking up towards the end of the tax year, hopefully people will start buying once again

Wardy · 06-02-2008, 01:13

Looks a very nice example and agree as well that it's right on the money.

If you can, wait until spring when sales traditionally begin to pick up again. Conversely, this is unfortunately when prices and demand for sports cars tends to increase too

Ideal situation - buying your sporty number in the bleak cold present time and hang onto the Fab for a month

Steve

StuM · 08-02-2008, 11:49

I have now got a telephone number assigned for anyone that wants to make any serious enquiries about the car. First part is 07013 second part is 160661.

To reiterate, there is a tiny amount of flexibility in the price, but it is priced fairly. In reply to Wardy above - I might ask the folks nicely for a loan that'll allow me to buy the sports car now and wait until spring to sell the Fabia. I'm not in any huge hurry... and of course, having to drive the vRS is no hardship!

Nice sunny weekend coming up, perfect for looking at cars eh....?

Cheers,
Stu

StuM · 10-02-2008, 19:13

Ok, so my neighbours might think I've got an OCD, but my vRS's exhaust is now looking very nice...

Car still for sale.

Cheers,
Stu

Wardy · 10-02-2008, 20:32

Great pic!

I need to get some Meg's metal polish on mine, you've reminded me...

Hang in there, it will sell at that price, I have every confidence

Steve

StuM · 10-02-2008, 20:55

Cheers Steve.

I've been laying off using the car for a week or so as I didn't want to tempt fate - eg. take it out and someone dent it in a supermarket.. but it is so sad seeing her sat under her cover unused that I'll have to revert - much as I enjoy SWMBO's Seat Arosa, it just isn't the same!

StuM · 15-02-2008, 11:09

Cheers,
Stu

StuM · 17-02-2008, 13:29

Now £9050 on Autotrader - though would rather sell to a Skoda enthusiast.....

StuM · 20-02-2008, 17:53

Will be around this weekend, but not the following two, so if anyone is interested, this weekend would be a good opportunity to view.
